abstract

introduction: ischemia leads to loss of neurons by apoptosis in specific brain regions, especially in the hippocampus. the purpose of this study was investigating the effects of exercise preconditioning on expression of bax, bcl-2, and caspase-3 proteins in hippocampal ca1 neurons after induction of cerebral ischemia. methods: male rats weighing 260-300 g were randomly allocated into three groups (sham, exercise, and ischemia). the rats in exercise group were trained to run on a treadmill 5 days a week for 4 weeks. ischemia was induced by the occlusion of both common carotid arteries (ccas) for 20 min. levels of expression of bax, bcl-2, and caspase-3 proteins in ca1 area of hippocampus were determined by immunohistochemical staining . results: the number of active caspase-3-positive neurons in ca1 area were significantly increased in ischemia group, compared to sham-operated group (p<0.001), and exercise preconditioning significantly reduced the ischemia/reperfusion-induced caspase-3 activation, compared to the ischemia group (p<0.05). also, results indicated a significant increase in bax/bcl-2 ratio in ischemia group, compared to sham-operated group (p<0.001). discussion: this study indicated that exercise has a neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia when used as preconditioning stimuli.

Coenzyme Q10 Protects Hippocampal Neurons against Ischemia/ Reperfusion Injury via Modulation of BAX/Bcl-2 Expression

Introduction: Preliminary studies have con.rmed reduction in cell death following treatment with antioxidants. According to this .nding we study the relationship between consumption of CoQ10 and expression of Bax and Bcl2 in hippocampus following ischemia/reperfusion as proteins involved in cell programmed death or apoptosis. Methods: We studied the protective role of CoQ10 against ischemia-rep...

Effects of Usnic Acid on Apoptosis and Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 Proteins in Hippocampal CA1 Neurons Following Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion

Introduction: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion causes complex pathological mechanisms that lead to tissue damage, such as neuronal apoptosis. Usnic acid is a secondary metabolite of lichen and has various biological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of usnic acid on apoptotic cell death and apoptotic-relat...
